THE talk about Powderlys intention to devote
his time to fighting the protective theory Is
worse than idiocy. 1t is downright falsenood.
Even If Powderiy mad the time TO devote TO
such a work he has not the inclination. He is
as consistent high tariff man as Pig-Iron
Kelley is. This report is simply another
Democratic lie.'-Denver Republican.
LIKE good many reformers of both ancient
and modern times Mr.. Georges preaching does
not tally with his practice. His theory Is ad-
vanced q good thing for other men to prac-

low Mr. Georges example, they would have less
poverty to complain OF than they are likely to
have by following his teachings.-Philadeph

is anxious to have Pension Commissioner Black
run the ticket with him next year TO capture
what he can of the soldier vote Soldiers who
would not vote for Cleveland for president would
not vote for Black for vice president for the SIM
pie reason that they couldn't vote for one with
out voting for the other. Mr.. Cleveland will
have to run on his record. de can't even
get a substitute to for him-after he is
nominated.-Detroit Tribune.
THE Irish leaders are not secessionists they
want home rule under and not outside of the
empire; they have not declared with Eng
land; they not striving to create nation
with a flag of it's own; and the not actually
fighting for the maintenance of traffic in human
souls Ireland today asks for the autonomy of
an American State executive and legislature
of its own; and these privileges every seeding
State had possessed from the beginning of the
American Union. The lines of the two cases
diverge sharply. It is not true parallel. New
York Tribune.
